    Very positive and enthusiastic, well organized and kept interest of students. Knows the
    material.
    She is very good at engaging people, and I felt comfortable participating in the class.
    She was very approachable, knowledgeable, and interesting to listen to.
    Relates/connects well with students—provides good environment for open discussion;
    really appreciated and liked the time and effort put in by you to respond to our papers.
    Created insights on aspects of literature that are often undermined or overlooked. Great
    classroom discussions and thought provoking questions; did not give enough time for
    heavier reading loads.
